Adding to the circuslike atmosphere is Kirk Markley's terrific set. The stage has been stripped down to its brick walls. At center stage is a circular platform that rotates. Sometimes, when Pamela and Dulle Griet go walking through Berlin, everyone else in the show will sit at the edge of the platform turning it, so that the ladies can stroll easily along, never getting anywhere. At other times, the rotating platform is used to create clever scene changes. And as the central action happens on the platform, the other actors remain on stage, at the edges, either changing their costumes or simply sitting in chairs, watching what's going on in the circle at center stage. There are so many things to look at that it's often hard to take it all in.
